If you marry the right one who truly understands what marriage is about, truly loves God and keeps his commands, doesn't cheat or sleep around, is 100% honest and transparent about everything, is diligent and you both can work together to achieve common goals, you will enjoy heaven on earth wink

Let us minus money wether the word "understanding" go still exist for inside the marriage?

This brought back memories and got me hysterical. grin grin

I was very recently close to a girl for about a year, not romantically but quite close and good friends. Naturally, we both did help each other out as our capacity permits.

We had a week-long quarrel once and as we both sat down to talk things through, she said with a straight face that I don't ever help her with a particular "issue". worse thing, she said that in passing without any prompt from me. I was so shocked I said goodnight and went to sleep. I just had to pretend that was never said so we could both move on.

Guess what cause our initial quarrel? At the course of me helping her with THAT same particular "issue". undecided grin Something I've been helping with every now and then for over 8 months. Rude awakening!

I was shocked. I thought I was in cuckooland. I don't easily get flustered but she easily did got me that day. It'd much easier for you to convince me 2 + 2 = 0 than make me understand why she said what she said.

I can only imagine how a married man (woman? hardly) must feel if their loving wife just bloat out "what have you ever done for me?" in the middle of an argument. grin

Our sisters, and wifeys them, that are guilty of the above in the heat of the moment, why Una dey yarn that talk. I would truly like to know? wink



You can do 99 things for a girl and the only thing she will remember you with is that very one thing that you didnt do for her

CaveAdullam:
1. The chances of achieving your goal become impossible or ultra slim.

2. As a father you will hardly have time for yourself because you are bothered about family bills.

3. Your only joy as a father is that your kids are healthy, intelligent, and becoming responsible.

4. As a father, the love your family has for you is predicated on the magnitude of your food storage and the depth of your pocket.

5. As a father when things go sour, the respect from nuclear and extended family plummets.

6. As a mother, you must serve your husband and children. You don't have time for vacations or rest.

7. As a father you will have at least one child that will behave in such a manner that it is as if he/she hates the family and wants to ruin the family name intentionally.

8. As a father only loyalty to your vows will keep you from infidelity because your wife will become boring by the day. Ditto for the mother.

9. The flames that run the marriage don't burn on their own. To keep the marriage fresh and the union alive the husband and wife must fan the flames.

10. As a father you'll one day be shocked and remain long-standing with mouth wide open, eyes gazing far when you are being asked "what have you done for me that you are using to boast".

11. As a mother you'll be expected to lead and provide even though it is not within your jurisdiction.

Marriage is a dreadful but enjoyable journey and must only be engaged by men and women who will be accountable and deliberate enough to hold to their specific marriage vows. Because marriage is the building block of civilization. The man and woman must be buoyant in the financial, physical, and spiritual angles (not religious) with no emotional baggage.

Thanks.
Very good response!

Marry someone that aligns with your dream and passion.

Be prepared to make it work- come rain, come shine.

Don't marry a woman with lot of friends.

Communication..Communication and Communication is key

Be open and be real

Discuss everything and anything

Don't hide anything from your partner. If you guys agree it's a secret, let it be.



I never marry but I don't like people that move with their Cartel/Parliament. Negative views can easily creep in.

All pretence will end from both parties. You will see each other in 3D.

You will be offended and re-offended. Your tolerance and forgiveness will be tested over and over again.

No marriage is perfect as no one is perfect.

If you marry for the wrong reason or married a wrong person, or if marriage is not for your type of person,
the marriage will be terrible.

If marriage is meant for you, you marry the right person for the right reasons, you have the compatibility, both of you truly love each other, finance is adequate for both of you, you will enjoy the marriage.
There are no such thing as the right Person

Rubbiish:

All these things u are saying happens in the movies. What do u mean by love & be ur friend? In marriage real stuff comes in, school fees, house rent, feeding etc. The word love is pure deception. Didn't u read a story of a guy on this section whose wife left him because he is unable to provide for the home? We should stop deceiving intending couples with love, it is misleading.

I think what the writer meant was that there should be honest feeling...

Take for example I knew a girl, she was seeing someone that guy was just managing...

I tried winning her over cuz I have what it takes to take care of her and she said she's sorry that she loves the guy and is willing to stick with him and help him achieve his goals...

I was Soo moved because I never knew girls like her still exist.... I ended up giving her some funds to help support her man...

So my standard now for a girl is there must be true love, I know how to bring out the pretense from women

When I say true love... Lady that will show some side to her and she will be like fk it, let's do it....

Because if she japa then she wasn't the one

To me marriage is a business partnership that benefits only the women. Can anyone point out any advantage a man has over the wife in that union? Have you ever wondered why married folks will always be pressuring the single guys to marry? They simply want you to enter the same suffering that they are in already. They envy your freedom and sometimes tend to bully you into marrying. Marriage is a cage for men and a poverty alleviation program for most women. Marriage is the biggest legal scam that women scam the men, know this and know peace.

You should've reminded her of all the ones you've done for her before.


@bolded, we're naturally entitled beings. cheesy

At that moment, just like @Cave said, I became honestly speechless. I don't think somebody who'd say that can be 'reminded' about all that was done before. Atleast, not in that very moment.


So, you admit it's something you'd say yourself in the moment? It's not the nicest feeling for a guy to hear that, I'll tell you.

I'll like to marry outside the shores of Nigeria but I don't have any means to travel out.
Even the foreign female nationals in Nigeria must have been corrupted by Nigeria girls, eg, ghana, cameroon
Re: What Is The Brutal Truth About Life After Marriage? by Satazaa: 10:03pm On Nov 26, 2022
the brutal truth is that Nigerian marriages is not between man and wife but between spouses and their respective immidiate families and in some instances thier extended marriage, you dare not complain especially if your spouse is the type that says if you know you love me you must love my family, so if you live in cities where everyone flocks to in search of greener pastures then your home will forever be thier home, and guess what it never ever ends well undecided

To marry the person that has the fear of God is very essential cos there are times that it'will be the word of God that will keep them going.Other things might not matter again.

Moreover it keeps couple away from a lot of distractions like: adultery,night crawling,unforgiveness, fight,hatred,malice and so many others.When couples have God as the author in their marriage then they have a good will.Though marriage is not a bed of roses o...but they will be able to conquer most things that comes their ways .

A man or a woman must standup for something and it will be the driving force of a marriage and what or who we stand for goes a long way to determine the type of marriage we'll build.

Have money as a man
As a lady n a man - be ready to compromise alot
As a man -dont ever marry someone who spent time on social media or Tik Tok,even don't marry those who over Fantasize how marriage should be
Never venture into marriage if the lady is claiming feminity e get why

Both should sit down n discuss clearly what u expect from each other including financial contribution-very important

Consider the family too. Shey the parent support or not


Look at the job she is doing - banker e.g marketer or sales person,Artist e.g Yoruba actress or actors (,red flag)

Finally,if u have money ,self made above your woman, you can date any of these listed

Marriage is not easy
Marry someone who's ready to stand with you. Someone who is ready to help you achieve ur dream. Marry a woman that see things in same view as you.
As the head of the house be ready for challenges. Yeah, no marriage is perfect... No person is perfect so don't be surprise if there's little changes in ur partner be mature enough to handle the situation.
Lastly, communication is the key to every relationship. It for better for worst so don't be ashame to share secret, don't keep things from each other it do cause a lot of misunderstanding in marriage. Let your wife/ husband be ur best pal smiley
